McHenry County closes two beaches

Two beaches have been closed after the McHenry County Department of Health found high levels of bacteria in the water.

The department tested the waters of the county’s 36 licensed beaches on Thursday and closed Indian Trails Beach in Lake in the Hills and Lehman’s Beach at Lehman’s Lakeside Resort.

Lake Killarney East in Lake Killarney was placed on advisory and will be re-tested June 29. The Lake in the Hills beach was re-tested today, with results pending until Saturday. Lehman’s Beach will be sampled again Monday, with results available Wednesday.
